Monaco
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Rennes
All eyes will be on Stade Louis II when Monaco and Rennes face each other in the Ligue 1 round 37. Les Rouges et Blancs are eyeing a place in the Champions League, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the home team. Considering that head coach Niko Kovac can count on key players for Sunday’s clash, we believe that home win should be considered.
Rennes, on the other hand, did well to hold star-studded PSG to a 1-1 draw at the weekend, but it has to be noted that les Parisiens star attacker Kylian Mbappe missed the game through suspension. Les Rouges et Noirs are eyeing a place in the Europa Conference League, but given Monaco’s displays in the second half of the season, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. Both Adrien Truffert and Jonas Martin are likely to miss the game with injuries for the visiting team.
